And of course this gem from 1978:

That was totally uncalled for. How dare you inflict pain upon the members of this board by posting what the UN Civil Rights division has declared to be torture!
Every Star Wars fan in the entire universe, universally loathes and cringes at the mere mention of 'The Holiday Special'. The only thing salvageable from that bleeding hemorrhoid of a travesty is the animated sequence that introduced Boba Fett.
That entire fiasco was Lucas' brainchild, and given where he ended up in terms of story telling (Indy 4 anyone?) you can see clearly what mind it came out of. The TV execs simply commandeered the other acts to fill voids in the painful-to-watch storyline. It aired once, and never seen again.
I remember my brother and I back then, looking at one another and exclaiming out loud: "What the crap is that? How stupid!". Once Carrie Fisher began singing we both turned the set off and dry heaved. Of course Harvey Corman in drag was unsettling because we both agreed he was no Bugs Bunny. We were convinced he inspired John Wayne Gacy.
Thankfully we got Battlestar Galactica the following year to wash the foul taste out of our mouth from the experience.
